The Supreme Court agreed on March 28 to review a voter-approved law in California that bans the sale of pork in the state from hogs raised anywhere in the world unless the animals were raised in a space that exceeds industry norms—a rule that U.S. pork producers say imposes massive new costs on out-of-state farmers.

The case is National Pork Producers v. Ross, court file 21-468.
